In the modelling of machining operations, constitutive models must consider the material behavior subject to high plastic strains, high strain rates, high temperatures and high heating rates. A new material model for AISI 1045, which captures time-dependent plastic response associated with interrupted austenite transformation under short (sub-second) heating times, is deployed to simulate orthogonal cutting experiments. High speed video and digital image correlation measurements are used to capture chip behavior. The new model, which also includes complex strain hardening and dynamic strain aging effects, show better agreement with experiments at high cutting speeds compared with a basic Johnson-Cook material model from the literature.
